Pain Mechanisms Involved and Outcome in Advanced Cancer Patients with Possible Indications for Celiac Plexus Block and Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block

Tumori Journal, 2002
Aims and Background There is controversy about the role of neurolytic sympathetic blocks in advanced cancer, when pain syndromes may assume other characteristics, with a possible involvement of structures other than visceral. The aim of the present study was to assess the pain characteristics and the analgesic response of a consecutive sample of home ...

Ultrasound‐Guided Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block: A Cadaveric Feasibility Study with Fluoroscopic Confirmation

Pain Practice, 2016
AbstractPlancarte first described a fluoroscopy‐guided superior hypogastric plexus block to manage pelvic pain in 1990. Modifications have since been described using different imaging modalities. Ultrasound‐guided approach has been described in a clinical outcome study.

Discitis Following Transdiscal Approach for Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block

2017
Discitis—the infection of the intervertebral disc space—can result from hematogenous dissemination, direct disc inoculation (either iatrogenic or traumatic), or contiguous spread from an adjacent structure. Unless there is a chronological relationship between symptom onset and recent spine intervention or injury, the diagnosis may be delayed for weeks ...

Superior Hypogastric Plexus, Ganglion Impar Blocks, and Neurolysis

2012
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) of malignant or nonmalignant origins can be attenuated by blockade of the superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) or the ganglion impar (GI) (ganglion of Walther). Attempts to interrupt sympathetic pathways from the pelvis have been made since the late nineteenth century.

Superior hypogastric plexus block and ganglion impar neurolysis for pain associated with cancer

Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management, 1997
Cancer patients with pelvic tumors may experience pain from visceral involvement (visceral pain), tumor extension to the muscles of the pelvic wall (somatic pain), and nerve entrapment (neuropathic pain). Neurolytic superior hypogastric plexus block has been shown to be effective in treating visceral pain which may be an important component of the pain
